Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can't keep at it.

Has anyone found an ADHD friendly way to exercise?

As with many things, it didn't stick for me until it did and once I was in the habit, it's actually harder to skip than to just go. Even if I'm not thrilled about the workout, I still end up going because it's wired in now.

That said, I do listen to podcasts almost exclusively at the gym and that can make it kinda exciting if there's a good one coming up.

Most people with ADHD have brains that are diametrically opposed to habit forming. Every single task that I do every day is performed deliberately.
